I am sorry that is been a month since an update. It has been tumultuous and busy. Friday 1/21 is a big day. New Hampshire residents age 65 and older can begin scheduling their vaccinations.
New Hampshire residents age 65 and older can begin signing up for COVID-19 vaccines starting tomorrow (Friday) at 8 a.m.
The state is encouraging people to use a dedicated website, vaccines.nh.gov.
After filling out basic information, residents will be provided a link to then schedule appointments at sites statewide. Communication from the state will come via email.
Also eligible for vaccines starting tomorrow are people younger than 65 who have two or more serious health conditions. Those residents need to go through their medical providers to get vaccinated.
State officials are asking for patience, as New Hampshire is only receiving about 17,000 doses of the vaccine each week from the federal government.

The Exchange spoke with Dr. Beth Daly, Chief of the Bureau of Infectious Disease Control at the N.H. DHHS, Dr. Benjamin Chan, the state epidemiologist, and Dr. Elizabeth Talbot, the state deputy epidemiologist, about COVID-19 vaccine access and safety.
This draft plan is a living document and will be revised as necessary as new information and guidance is known about the vaccine candidates. NH is taking steps to ensure we are ready to receive a vaccine and have a plan that allows for equitable access for every New Hampshire resident.
